Introduction

The growing cost of college education has raised debates about how viable a college degree is. These debates are further fueled by required knowledge and skill sets required for current job market. Given current unemployment rates (coming in heel of an unprecedented economic recession), investment in college education has not only become a financial burden long after graduation but is also becoming, critically, less rewarding from a job prospect perspective. Indeed, "overeducated" college graduates – particularly ones completing an undergraduate or a higher degree in software engineering or digital media majors – are experiencing particularly painful job experiences, particularly during early ...

When one of my fellow classmates tries to explain his point using examples or ...
